Cache La Poudre Fishing Report

Latest Update: 4/11/2026

Current Streamflow : 88 cfs @ Canyon Mouth, 50 cfs @ Fort Collins, 1 cfs @ North Fork below Seaman Reservoir

Flows have leveled, and it is running clear all throughout the canyon. With that being said above gateway will have much more water due to diversions pulling some water off. Weather looks good this week throughout the canyon and flows should stay similar through out the week.

Looks like an early, light terrestrial bite is starting to show up. Consider running a dry-dropper rig in the afternoons, as there are plenty of ants and beetles moving around.

With spring moving in on the Poudre, bug diversity is improving. Larger Stonefly and caddis imitations have been finding success. Flows have settled and clarity improved significantly, we have moved more towards our smaller Blue Wing, Stonefly, and caddis imitations. Your dry dropper rigs have been producing already!

Spring is definitely starting to show its face around here, and we’re getting more guide trips out on the Poudre. Give us a call to get the lowdown!

Take a look at our Poudre Assortment, a great selection for this time of year.
